The next OBSC Roundtable for eMRF  (energy Materials Recovery and Fuels Facility) should be scheduled in 2011.  There is a lot of work to do before these aspects can come to fruition.  Check back often for updates:
  1. 1.  Ohio BioSystems Refuse Derived Fuel System/Municipal Solid Waste revenue producing Pilot Plant at ~150+ tons daily.
    1. A.  Intended Customer base:  First Energy/AEP/Dayton Power and Light, etc.
    2. B.  Ohio EPA OBSI process validation criteria.
  2. 2.  Reintroduction of Switchgrass into Ohio. FSA/USDA/Farmers Equity & Farm Bureau.

Ohio BioSystems Cooperative, Inc. has been established as a not-for-profit Research and Development entity in Holmes and Ashland Counties, Ohio.

We are a nonprofit think-tank engaged in focused scientific research and development for energy independence. We intend to lead this nation into a renewable and sustainable energy independence through focused scientific knowledge, synergistic collaborations, exact technical know-how through and to the implementation of for-profit spin-offs and when possible or practical the aid and assistance of other renewable energy based business models.

We have named this as the National Transportation Energy Program with 6 (six) Projects that will remove the National Threat that imported oil possesses.  There is a seventh project that is methodologically in the very far future and will only be discussed to lay the groundwork for some enterprising young scientist in the very far future.

Our alliances and membership across the United States and the globe support our business model in scientific research, development and implementation by only Local, State, and Federal grant awards.

We and our strategic alliances across the continental United States have one single, focused, and nationally effecting goal.  We intend to lead this nation into renewable energy independence through experienced scientific knowledge, technical and logistical know-how.

Although it will require funding to allow for the research and development; we are specifically a not-for-profit organization focusing on the science to derive and solve the issues and the goals national energy independence and then on a global scale.

Again, our goal is “renewable energy independence”.  In examination of a large portion of the available research our findings indicate that we have over-researched the energy issue by roughly four years.

Our research indicates that we already have an energy resource as a renewable material that extensively outperforms corn as a feedstock by nearly seven-fold.  Massive amounts of cellulosic material could be produced on roughly 90 million acres of Non-Food Producing, marginal acreage in as little as five years - not to mention the municipal waste that already exists.  Our research further indicates that all of the existing corn ethanol plants would be able to use the derived cellulosic based materials with little or NO modifications.  In their utilization of the products of these materials, their production capacities would be increased two to ten-fold.

With our current research calculations, and with “all things being equal”, the US could produce enough ethanol to replace the imported oil for transportation in roughly six-seven years of this writing (2008).  In fact, there will probably be surplus ethanol, well more than the 31.3% replacement as it relates to each gallon of imported crude. In this case, what we are proposing is completely renewable and includes Gasoline, Diesel fuel, Jet fuel, and Kerosene alternatives.
 

However, there are demand, supply, and distribution issues that will have to mitigated.  In fact, we have solutions to mitigate these issues with existing technology and methods:

1. 1.  Demand; our plan begins by impacting demand by converting as many of the ~192,000,00 late model EFI vehicles and light duty trucks into E85 capable Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFVs).  This will bolster a substantial increase in the demand for ethanol that is simply not present today and reduce transportation exhaust emissions  by ~60% - ~90%.  Short term, increasing the demand may also drive the price of E85 up to where it is unreasonable to use E85 relative to the cost at the pump which brings us to the supply issue and solution;
2.
 2.  Supply; to counter the demand related cost issue in NTEP Project I; the solution revolves around forming a coalition of the existing “Corn” ethanol producers to a cellulosic based production and increasing the production of ethanol in the U.S. supports or exceeds the demand created by NTEP Project I.  We will also have to obtain “buy-in” from U.S. oil companies’ like Marathon to convert their existing service “islands” into E0-E100 “blending islands”, typically E85;
3. 3.  Distribution; is via the eighteen U.S. oil companies such as Marathon Oil that have modified their station islands into E0-E85 “blending islands”.

Tangible and intangible net effects/impacts of NTEP in its entirety:

  • 70%-90% reduction in Green House Gases (GHGs).  Overall, the entire life-cycle of the NTEP will reduce direct GHG emissions between 48-59% comparative to E0 with carbon monoxide emissions by as much as 30%, toxics content by 13% (mass) and 21% (potency), and tailpipe fine particulate matter (PM) emissions by 50% across the nation and eventually the globe.

  • $700+ Billion per year returned to the U.S.

  • High Paying U.S. Jobs increased by roughly 5,000,000 in new jobs.  Current Jobless rate is 3,110,750 for the week ended June 28, the U.S. Labor Department announced... [in July 2008].

  • Reduction in the cost of a gallon of light vehicle & truck fuel to less than $1.00.

  • K85 replacement for Diesel fuel at $2.00 a gallon or less.

  • The threat to U.S. National Security, at least as it relates to foreign oil is over.

  • Our children’s, children will inherit a cleaner more balanced world by the stabilization of the U.S. Economy in these efforts.
